“Time for an old fashion sing-a-long.

You know the tune, now sing it like you

know you do when you’re in the shower!

 

Come on now… you can do it!”

 

First a little Banjo pickin’ … ya got it… OK

Here we go….

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come listen to my story about a man named Jess

A do it yerself guy who kept his car a mess

 

Then one day while in a tinkerin’ mood . . .

Out from the engine came a bubblin' crude . . .

 

Oil that is, . . . black gold, . . .Texas tea

 

The next thing ya know Ol’ Jess ain’t thinkin’ clear

Kin folk said, Jess move that car out a here!

 

Said a mechanic place is where you ought to be

So he hauled the ol’ car to the facil-i-ty

 

Repair shop that is, spinnin’ tools, movin’ tires

 

The shop made the repairs and got ‘em on the road

Now Ol’ Jess ain’t needen’ to be towed…

 

Ol’ Jess decided not to work on his car anymore!

Says it’s a lot easier comin’ thru the lobby door….

 

Front door that is, no tow trucks, no home repairs.

 

Ol’ Jess yelled out what he had to say,

“Workin’ on yer own ain’t the best way”

 

“These here cars, are too complex for me these days”

Said, “It takes a heap of schoolin’ just to fix em’ anyways.”

 

Trainin’ , that is, classes, and OJT.

 

Ol’ Jess always refers us to, all his family and friends,

They all mention him, when they show up agin’ and agin’.

 

But, now it’s time say goodbye, to Jess and all his kin.

We’d like to thank you folks, fer kindly droppin in.

 

You're all invited back again to this here locality

To have a heapin helpin of our wrenchin’ abilities

 

Auto repair that is. Engines, Transmissions, Brakes, and more…

 

Y'all come back now, ya'hear?!

 

A little more Banjo and repeat the first verse.

Alright! Ya done well Y’all! ! !

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.
